factsheet - GASMAC GILMORE

Gasmac Gilmore / Dead Donkey
Release: AUT 25.05.2012 / Worldwide 05.10.2012
Label: Monkey Music
Distribution: Rough Trade
In venerable Vienna, the gateway to the Balkans, Gasmac Gilmore’s frantic Polka mixed with a dark and ominous
sound and harsh Heavy Metal riffs is the missing link between the East and the West, between rigorousness and irony.
GASMAC GILMORE - “DEAD DONKEY” is the call to abandon control of one’s feelings and perceptions and to
jump onto the train to delyrium. Old bridges are torn down while new ones are being built; on this album the seemingly contradictory is unified.
Reviews
“A little sentimental, pretty shrill and colorful, wild and riotous. There’s no Mallorca here, this is pure Balkan, man!”
“The songs of these Viennese boys, who are not opposed to racing East with a Polka on speed, have arranged their songs virtuously and play
through them infectiously. Add to that the brilliant singing reminiscent of Serj Tankian and you are left with a cocktail that is sure to please,
especially live.”
ROCK HARD (09/2012) 8 von 10 Punkten.
“What Gogol Bordello are to Punk, Gasmac Gilmore are to the sophisticated headbanger.”
PLASTIC BOMB
“It’s always a pleasure to be taken completely by surprise by a band and at the same time be totally blown away by them.”
